My Project

The students I see have disabilities that can make school more challenging for them. In my class, we try to work through them and teach them how to use strategies unique to them to help them be successful.

During the end of fall and winter months, many students become sick causing our tissue supply to become depleted.

We are looking to get a restock on Kleenex tissues to help keep our students as comfortable as they can be while learning in our classroom. Without tissues, students are forced to use paper towels which can be irritating to their skin.

We are also looking to get an air purifier to help keep the air in our classroom clean. We do not have a window and do not have the option to use fresh air when the weather is warm enough.

Thank you for taking the time to consider helping out our classroom. We appreciate your generosity.
